... from a simple finger prick and requires no sample processing or microscopy." Landay will collaborate with scientists at the Burnet Institute in Melbourne, Australia. The technology underpinning this test was developed by Associate Professor David Anderson, a co-investigator on this grant and deputy director...

...ry flash was also marked by a rapid enhancement of processing in the auditory cortex of the brain. By observing the auditory boost, the researchers could predict when subjects would report seeing the visual illusion of a second flash. "Our results provide evidence that perception of the illusory second fla...

...eimer's disease had less gray matter in key memory processing areas of their brains even at the beginning of the study when they were cognitively normal. "We found that changes in brain structure are present in clinically normal people an average of four years before MCI diagnosis," said study author Charles ...

...ancer patients, especially the need to work toward processing and accepting their cancer diagnoses. "When you are diagnosed with breast cancer, it's a difficult experience that ultimately requires a certain level of acceptance," said Hopko. "One way that many cancer patients choose to cope is through denial, ...

...our scientific flights and getting our hands dirty processing and analysing the airborne radar altimeter data over Austfonna. One fascinating aspect of such work is that the campaign actually allows us to look into the future and see what the CryoSat-2 mission will see and measure when it is launched." The ai...

As the subsidies phased out and project-inspired competition began, the UNEP-sponsored banks gradually surrendered predominance in solar loan financing. Loans are now available across several thousand mostly rural bank branches a developme...

...and veterinary diagnostics.Reduced diagnostic test processing times down to as little as 10 minutes are possible, downfrom up to three hours using current technology. Quicker diagnosis will benefit patients,physicians and clinical laboratory customers. Furthermore, the technology allows immunoassays to be perfo...

...rt of the machinery in the cell that regulates the processing of information from chromosome and gene to the protein machinery that makes the cell run," says Dr. Waldman. "No one knew about this intermediate level of regulation in every cell in the body. Its part of the cells normal machinery that regulates in ...

...aining, such as meditation. Seeing and mentally processing something takes time and effort, says psychology and psychiatry professor Richard Davidson of the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health and the Waisman Center. Because a person has a finite amount of brainpower, paying close attention to on...

...onduction of nerve impulses. It is key to the fast processing speeds that underlie our higher cognitive functioning, including, yes, wisdom. Myelination continues sheathing axons until we reach the age of about 50, but in these later stages, the myelin becomes more and more susceptible to damage. Now, in a re...

In other words, chronic pain can, quite literally, drive people to distraction. Participants in the studyall of whom had pain lasting six months or longerwere given computerized tests of worki...

...hich releases the amyloid-beta fragment. The usual processing of APP by an enzyme called alpha-secretase produces an alternative, non-toxic protein. The MGH-MIND team previously reported that cellular BACE levels are normally controlled by the enzymes breakdown in compartments called lysosomes, a process th...

Combined with an automatic data processing system and daily mosaics from the MERIS optical instrument, it helped me predict safe and unsafe areas in the sea ice and provide this crucial information to Alain and Dixie in field via the International Polar Foundation."

...ently, the images have big holes or gaps where the processing is incorrect in areas where the PET and CT data fail to match, Gould said. It looks like someone has severe disease. On discovering the problems, Gould developed a solution with Tinsu Pan, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Imaging Phy...
